Bug 543058 – netifrc: bridge wont add default route

• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description j.habenicht 2015-03-12 12:11:43 UTC]

Using network bridge does not add a default route to gateway:

I use a bridge to connect a bonding device with 2 tap devices
bridge_br0="bond0 tap0 tap1"
The bridge is configured for an IP address and default routing
config_br0="172.18.18.2/24"
route_br0="default via 172.18.18.1"
The bonding device and tap devices received NULL configuration
config_tap0=null
config_tap1=null
config_bond0=null


But the route does not show the default
# route -n
Kernel IP Routentabelle
Ziel            Router          Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
172.18.18.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br0

I have to add a defualt route manually in /etc/local.d/
# cat /etc/local.d/route.start
#!/bin/sh
route add -net default gw 172.18.18.1

Installed sys-apps/openrc-0.13.11 and net-misc/netifrc-0.3.1



Reproducible: Always

Please close this bug as "WONT FIX"! (Would do it myself, but I can't. And would not mark this as RESOLVED because it is not)


Having a close look at my configuration there is a clear bug in it:
route_br0="default via 172.18.18.1"
needs to be written as
routes_br0="default via 172.18.18.1"

My fault.
I am sorry for this.
